Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has advised that after the proper rollout of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the board exams for students of classes 10 and 12 should be discontinued.
Sisodia also suggested that the government must introduce multi-year stage-wise classes and external assessment at the end of each stage.
At the 57th general council meeting of NCERT, Sisodia said: “Transformation in education should be holistic and not piecemeal.
He further went on to explain that “It means, instead of an existing class system where all children of a class move together in all subjects despite being at different learning levels, the multi-year stage will help the child move as per their learning need in different subjects at their own pace.
A stage-wise curriculum with a clearly stated learning goal in terms of knowledge, skills and values be created,” Mr Sisodia said.
The NEP approved by the government last month replaces the 34-year-old National Policy on Education framed in 1986 and is aimed at paving the way for transformational reforms in school and higher education systems to make India a global knowledge superpower.
